Even though the real estate industry is booming, institutional investors make up most of its investor base. Due to the high entry barrier, retail investors are discouraged from entering. A new crypto project Metropoly aims to provide accessibility to real estate investment through fractional ownership of real estate NFTs, and investors can own 0.1% of the NFTs for $100.
